Graze Cafe bringing healthy, delicious, Italian-inspired options to Rexburg
Published at
REXBURG — Graze Cafe is here in eastern Idaho to bring you fresh ingredients prepared into delicious dishes inspired by Italian flavors.
Victoria Ramirez, owner of the Graze Cafe food truck, says it’s important to her to bring good food with good ingredients to Rexburg and the surrounding areas.
“We just wanted to bring healthy options to Rexburg,” says Ramirez. “We have sandwiches, salads, avocado toast and fresh pressed juices.”
We were lucky enough to try some of the delicious offerings at Graze Cafe, starting with a green juice consisting of fresh-pressed ginger, turmeric, celery and cucumber.
The drink is amazingly refreshing and an easy, delicious way to get tons of vitamins and nutrients.
“This is probably our most popular juice; we also have one with fresh beats in it, so that’s our second most popular,” says Ramirez. “But it’s great because you get your vitamins in, and it tastes amazing.”
Next, we tried the ultimate avocado sandwich, with fresh mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, arugula and prosciutto on sourdough with freshly-grated asiago.
If you’re looking to try something new, this is the way to go. It’s cheesy and warm, the avocado is creamy, and the sun-dried tomatoes add the perfect amount of acidity to a salty, delicious sandwich.
“It’s so good,” says Ramirez. “We top all of our sandwiches with fresh asiago, too, so you get that little sprinkle.”
Third, we tried the peach burrata sandwich, with fresh peaches, chili oil, burrata cheese – which is imported from Italy -, arugula and balsamic glaze.
“This sandwich is inspired by a trip my husband and I took to Italy,” said Ramirez. “It is the perfect combination of flavors.”
This was my favorite of all of the delicious foods we tried because Ramirez is so right – the sweetness of the peach and the mild spiciness of the chili oil mix so well with the creaminess of the burrata.
Next, we tried the build-your-own avocado toast with all of Ramirez’s favorites – fresh avocado, everything bagel seasoning, sprouts, tomato, feta and balsamic glaze.
“We don’t use anything packaged,” says Ramirez. “This is my favorite way to do it, but there is like, endless amounts of ways to do it.”
Next, we tried the freshly-filled mini Italian cannolis, which is my personal favorite dessert. It’s almost like she knew I was coming!
“(Graze Cafe) is very Italian-inspired,” says Ramirez. “I feel like I, in a different life, was born in Italy or something. I just love Italy, and I’m so inspired by their flavors.”
Lastly, we tried the red-velvet white chocolate cheesecake, which is locally purchased by the Graze Cafe and only available for winter.
“It has red velvet cake in it; it is so good.” says Ramirez.
Make sure to stop and check out the Graze Cafe food truck on 250 West Main Street in Rexburg.
Their winter hours are Monday through Friday from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. and on Saturday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.
